To alt whom it wtay concern I Be it known that we, \PETERCORNIE Fnii'o- United States,.residing at St.,Paul, the

Making Pastry Cones, of which the followfor moldthe object isto provide a machine ofs'a1d kind with certain improvements, which will fully-appear fromvthe herein below description and claims; reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which,

. Figure 1' is a top orplan view of our im- Fig. 2 is a partly sectional side elevation of the device. with the joints of the levers modified and Fig. 3 isa side view or edge view of the plates that carry the molds and cores of the desection. Fig. 4 is an enlarged side view of the joint at 18 in Figs. 1 and 5 with the nut and washer 29, 3O omitted. Fig. 5 is a section on linena of Fig. 4: with nut and washer restored.

Referring. to the drawing by reference designates a bench uponwhich is-mounted a gas stove casing 2, having in its base a burner 3 and in its upper edge oppositely disposed open bearings 4, in'which rotate the divided or-split journals (rot a pair of plates 6, 7 of which plate 6 is provided with conic molds 8 and'plate '7 withconic .cores 9 adapted to fit in the molds with spaces 10 between each core and its be molded and baked in. .The journals of the mold plate 6 are each provided with a hook 11 adapted to catch undera stud 12 fixed in the side of the to hold'the plate down when the cone plate 7 is pulled upward therefrom after the plates are stuck together by the The journals of the core plate are each provided with a staple 13 or other suitable catch.

Rearward from the oven extends two horizontal'parallel rails 14, which in the shown as secured at 15 to the sides of the oven casing, but they may also be cast integral with the oven casing and form extensions of the upper side edges Near the rear end of each rail is provided a notch or open bearing 16. 911

said rails rest and slide the cylindrical "heads, 17 of pivot bolts 18.by which two biturcatedlevers 1 9 and '20 are pivoted together.- The ends of said leversare' formed with handles'21 adapted to be held almost I together by a ring 22. Near the pivoted or hinged end of each lever arm is formed an .open bearing or notch 23 adapted toifit either side of the split journal so as to squeeze the plates firmly together when handles 21 are closed and insertedinthe ring 22; Upon one side of each'arm of afinger 24:; and rearward of the stove is provided a support 25.

' In the operation of'the machine when the gas stove ;is lighted and the mold and core opens the levers 19" and suificiently apart to slide them rearward 'on the rails '14 until the fingers 24 are slightly rearward of the staples 13; he then pulls the levers forward enough to pass thev fingers 24: into the staples, he next raises the upper lever and the core 7 plate with it to the position A in Fig. 2, or

atleast high enough to be placed in the molds, this done he brings the core plate down again upon the mold plate, where it is guided into exact position bydowel pins (not shown), he now unhooks catches on' the plate),

leverageon the journals, squeezes tightly and puts ring 22 in holding position; when the cones are partly the plates in the position shown plates are turned upside'down by swinging over to the position B ,wherethey remain until the baking is finished, the levers are then swung forward again, opened, pushed rearward and engaged with the fingers2 i in staples 13, and the upper lever and plate are brought upward to position A, leaningagainst the support- -25 while the pastry cones are being removed fromthe cores. More paste is then served that when the upper lever is in the raised position A, the heads or studs 17 rest in the notches When the journals 5 are substantially haveplainrivetswith heads 17 and a relever 19 is fixed the staples (or other pulls the levers for- 7 16' of .the rails to prevent the. studs from sliding forward on-the rails.

at 18*, but when the journals vary in's'ize and true cylindrical form the lever joints need some adjustment, as also for taking up wear on the journals; for these reasons we provide one lever with a slottedhole 26 (see Figs. 4; and 5) in which fits a flat portion 27 of the bolt 18 and the shoulders 28 of the bolt are drawn firmly against the slotted lever by a nut 29 bearing against a washer 30 that helps to bridge the slot, the lever 20 is thus free to swing on the pivot bolt be;

tween its head and the shoulder 28. 31 is an adjustment screw, screwed through the lever and against the side of the flattened portion of the pivot bolt to prevent lateral movement of the latter in the slot when the levers are used as powerful squeezers on the plate journals.

32 designates a peg in one of the rails to support the levers-when they are in the rearward position B.

hat we claim is;-- 1

1. In a device of the kind described, a stove open at the top and provided in opposite sides of its top with open bearings, two rails extending rearward'ly from the stove,

twof'plates|provided with meeting half journals adapted to rest in the bearings, conic molds on one of the plates and cores on the other plate to enter the'inolds with small spaces between them for the pastry, a pair of bifurcated levers pivoted together and having near said pivot-joint opposing open bearings adapted to engage'over the half journals and squeeze them together, means at the free ends of the levers for holding them closed, catches, on the core-carrying plate and catches on one of the levers to engage the first named catches for raising the core plate, and catching means'on the oven and on the mold-carrying plate for retaining the latter in place when the other plate is being raised, said levers being slidingly supported on the rails.

2. In a device of the kind described, a

stove open at the top and provided in opposite sides .of its top withopen bearings, two rails extending rearwardly fromthe stove and having each a notch near its rear end, two plates provided with meeting half jour- 'nals' adapted to -rest in the bearings, conic molds on one of the plates and cores on the other plate to enter the molds with small spacesbetween them for the pastry, a pair of bifurcated llevers pivoted together and having near said pivot joint opposing open bearings adapted to engage over the half journals and squeeze them together, means at the free ends of the levers for holcling them closed, catches on the core-carrying plate and catches on one of the levers to engage the first named catches for raising the core plate, and catching means on the oven and on the mold-carrying plate for retaining the latter in place when the other plate is being raised, said-levers being slidingly supported on the rails by means adapted to rest and rotate in the notches of the rails;

the pivots connecting said levers being adustable 111 one of the levers so as to permit rails extending rearwardly from the stove and having each a notch near its rear end,-

two plates provided with meeting half journals adapted to occupy the bearings, conic molds onone of the plates and cores on the other plate to enter the molds with small intervening spaces between each core and mold, a pair of bifurcated levers pivoted together and havinginear said pivots opposing open bearings adapted to embrace the journals and-squeeze them together, means at the free ends of the levers for holding them closed, catches onthe core-carrying plate and means carried by one of the levers for engagingsaid'catches for raisingthe core plate, catches on the stove and means on the mold-carrying plate for engaging the latter catches and retain the. said plate in the bearings of the stove when the core plate is being raised, said levers having means sliding on the rails and adapted to engage in the notches in the rear ends thereof, for the purpose setforth. Intestimony whereof we atiix bur signatures, in presence of two witnesses.
